Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

You wrote,'How do I safely taper back to something."

So you you need to restart medicines after gap of 7 days that what I understood from your narration.

You are feeling HA and dizziness.

In my opinion you can restart 0.5mg clonazepam like you were taking before flu. You can decide further regarding other medicines after consulting your doctor on Monday.

Hope I have answered your query,

Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
